COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Registrac Winslow as Commissioner.) IN RE O'CONNOR, This was an application for order of discharge, and also fur release from custody. Mr Lowis opposed on behalf of a Mr Tyler, the detaining creditor. The obj , ction was that Tyler had brought an action against the bankrupt in a County C our t f or a mali cious imprisonment, and he recovered the f u ll am ount o f damagesthe by c Court t i tth/ ri intocouladmv&rd; viz., £6O. Th e c ase was ' then removed he Court of Queen's Bench and bankrupt was taken in execution. le applied in May last for his release, which, however, was refused. Mr Dauncy now urged that the bankrupt was entitled to his discharge, as he had suffered sufficient punishment by his imprisonment, and if the discharge were granted he would be entitled to his release. The learned Registrar said that Cu Saturday in the case of Tubbs a similar application was made, but there was a difference in the cases; in that the bankrupt held adverse possession, and continued to do so. In the present case the judgment became a debt, from which he would be re lieved by the order of discharge, which would be now granted, and also the order of release.

MARLBOROUGH-STREE r. HOUSEBREAKING.—Francis Laurence, a fellow who de scribed himself as a carpenter, but refused his address, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being concerned with another man not in custody, in feloniously breaking and entering the house No. 100, Park-street, Grosvenor-square, w'th intent to commit a robbery. Mr John Hughes, a gentleman residing at No. 35, Park street, Grosvenor-square, said—While at my sitting room window yesterday morning, about half-past 8, I observed a man fumbling at the lock of the opposite house, No. 100. The man having unlocked the door, walked away, and the prisoner then walked up, pushed open the door, and walked in, and then turned his face round, and seeing that he Ras observed by parsons at my window, and that I was coming to my door, he ran away. I ran after him, and having put the police on his track, they caught him. Mr Tyrwhitt —Was the prisoner ever bodily in the house ? Mr Hughes--He was. Mr Tyrwhitt—Did both the men stand at the door ? Mr Hughes—Only one at a time. Prisoner—When I went into the house why did you not come over and take mei' Mr Hughes—Because you did not wait Jon?, enough for me to do so. Police-constable Watkins, 154 C, said—Yesterday even ing I was in Mount-street, and heard a cry of " Stop thief," and saw prisoner running through some mews, to Chester-street. I pursued him into Davies-Street, where he was stopped by another constable, 194 C. I then charged him with breaking into a house, and gave him over to 194 C to take to the station while I went back to the house, Thos. Tollough, 194 C-1 saw the prisoner running very fast, pursued by persons calling " Stop thief." I called to the prisoner to stop just as he did so, being quite exhausted. I then took the prisoner back, and Mr Hughes, who came up in a cab, gave the prisoner in charge for being in a house, I took the prisoner to the station, and on search ing him found up his right arm sleeve a screw driver, and in his pocket a knife and some lucifer matches. Sarah Annie Price, servant to Miss Gold, of 100, Park street, Grosvenor-square, said—While at the dining-room window yesterday morning I saw two young men pass on the opposite side of the street. They were together ; no other persons were about, and I believe the prisoner to be one of them. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week to give the police an opportunity of seeing whs.ther the prisoner is known, THAMES. THE DANGER OF A NAP IN A PUBLICHOUSE Charles Macarthy, alias Regan, an aged Irishman, was brought I efore Mr Partridge charged with stealing 91 and two keys from a man named Jhalkley, servant to a brewer. The prisoner is a tall cadaverous-looking fellow, with a whiskerless face, and has been in custody repeatedly for robbing drunken men on Saturday nights. He has been committed for trial three times, end on eaoh occasion ac quitted. On Saturday night the prosecutor went into the Black Horse publichouse, in the Milo End-road, and fell asleep there with his head on a table. On being aroused he missed from his right hand trousers pocket two keys, 6d. in silver and 3d. in coppers. The prisoner—Was it Bd. or 9d , Misther Chalkley ? Chalkley—Ninepence exactly, and that sum was taken from you. Henry Dust, an edge tool maker, said ho was in the Black Horse publichouse on Saturday night, and saw the prose cutor taking a nap on the table. The prisoner sat closer to the prosecutor than ho ought to have done, and took from the right hand trousers' pccket of the sleeper two keys and 9d. The prisoner then left the house, Ho followed him and brought him back. 113 awoke Chalkley and asked him if he had lost anything. 11, put his hand in his pocket and said ho had lost 9d and two keys. Ha told the prisoner to produce the money he had stolen from the man. The pri soner at first denied taking anything, and then produced the money. The keys were on a banch where the prisoner had been seated. The Prisoner—Will you swear I took his money from his pocket ? Witness—To be sure I will. Inspector Griffin, of the K division, said the prisoner had been tried at the Surrey Sessions and the Middlesex Sessions for robbing drunken men on Saturday nights and acquitted. Last time the prisoner was under remand for a week for stealing a week's wages from a drunken man on S:epney-green, and was then discharged. Mr. Partridge—How does he get his living ? Inspector Griffin—l never knew him to do anything else than sneak about public-houses and rob drunkeemen. Mr. Partridge—Then I sentence him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. MARK-LANE.

Prices, however, on the whole, ruled firm, and they were without material change from the previous week. Good and fine malting barley moved off steadily, at full quotations. Most other articles were in slow request at about stationary prices. At New York, a heavy fall has taken place in the value of wheat and flour; but the export has not increased. On the continent, tho corn trade generally continues quiet. The amounts of English grain up to our market last week were but moderate, The amounts of English grain were but moderate.

The condition of ithe produce was on the wlio'e tolerably good, and several samples were of fine quality. Although the show of samples on the stands was limited, the trade for all qualities was in a sluggish sate; At the commencement of business factors endeavoured to realise more money than on Monday last, but in order to effect sales they were eventually compelled to accept that day's rates, and at those prices a clearance was effected. The market was well supplied with granaried samples if foreign wheat, as well as in the produce ex ship. as a rule, operated to a limited extent, and the total amount of business transacted was very moderate, at last Monday's currency. In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly, yet no change took place in prices. There was a fair average supply of barley on the stands, Good and fine malting parcels, however, were scarce, and such commanded full prices, having sold somewhat readily. Inferior barley, however, was dull, at fully the late decline in the quotations. Malt changed hands to a limited extent, at late rates. There was a good supply of oats on sale. The trade was by means active; nevertheless, a fair business was trans acted in most descriptions, and prices ruled firm. The supply of beans on sale was very moderate, The trade, however, was slow, at the late fall in prices. Peas were in limited supply, and the trade ruled firm, at full quotations. For flour there was a moderate demand, and last Mon , day's currency was steadily supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The inaugurative concert of the new hall took place on Saturday evening, and although it was understood to be of a private character, the new building was filled almost to overflowing. We shall not here enter upon anything verging upon the order of architecture to which the new building belongs, but at once accept that laid down in the "History of Building" (which was presented to the com pany ), viz , " Continental Gothic," though what that means we candidly confess we do not know. The interior of the building is peculiar, and, indeed, so much so that a descrip tion of it would far exceed our limits, and, in the end; fall very far short of the actual reality. On entering the build ing the eye is first arrested by the novel system that has been adopted in lighting the hall. The ceiling is formed of large squares of beautifully coloured plate glass, through which the light is transmitted, similar to the manner adopted at the House of Commons. The new system in vented and patented by the Messrs, Detries, combines that great desideratum of allying with the nearest approach to a soft daylight a system of thorough and complete venti lation throughout the building, and to the ingenious inventors belong the credit of having discovered a novel means of illuminating' public buildings in the most effec tive and brilliant manner. Another great feature in the novel system is the beautiful effect caused by the prismatic spires, for while they have the appearance of being a solid mass of crystal, the gas is introduced into the very points thus producing most brilliant rays of prismatic colours, which combined with the crystal coronets which surmount the bosses, give an effect Of the most exquisite description. The prevailing colour of the interior of the hall is a kind of chocolate brown, relieved with red and gold. The interior arrangements of the building will be best de scribed by the following extraot from the aforesaid " His• t ory" _ ‘; Smoking and drinking have in the establishments here tofore called music halls sat elbow to elbow with harmony: The directors of the Strand Music Hall have thought it fit ting to bestow this designation upon their building, inas much as it is a hall devoted to the performance of music— but as the musio given will be of a superior class, they expect from their visitors an equally exalted etiquette. Creature comforts, both nicotian and alcoholic, will be found at the spacious buffits, and in the corridors and saloons which surround the hall: Visitors will have all the facili ties they could desire for their puffings and their potations, but not within the hall, which is consecrated to music." The inauguration concert was, as we expected, very incomplete but the wonder to us was how matters had been so far expedited in four-and-twenty hours to oven admit of the admission of the favoured few. However, through great perseverance and untiring exertion, the directors kept faith with their announcement, and at a few minutes before eight o'clock the concert opened with the National Anthem, played by the band. Then followed a concert in which not one of the artistes engaged had the good taste to sing a single word of English, probably be cause native composition was not considered to be quite up to their standard. On an opening night artistes, we suppose, have the privilege of select ing their own pieces, but we trust Mr Kingsbury, the talented conductor will not allow such a mistaken arrangement to occur. The band in a short time will doubtless become a very excellent one, enough being done on Saturday to prove it to be one of great efficiency. ➢l.

The funny man was an inevitable failure, but the audience having hissed him off the stage, short work was made of the " Persian Storyteller." The directors have only to adhere strictly to the promise in their programme of giving first-rate concerts at mode rate prices, to insure a good return for their large outlay. Their position is a splendid one, and all that is required to produce a good dividend is good management.

In prices, however, no increase of depression has been apparent, but the small amount of business doing is at fully the late de cline in prices. English wool, since our last report, has changed hands to a limited extent, at prices 3d per lb below the highest rata current during the present year. In colonial wool, by private contract, a very moderate business has been transacted, at last week's currency. A public sale of home-grown wool was held on Thursday last, and ON prices realised showed no material change from those now ruling in the private contract market. The public sales of colonial wool will commence at an early period next month ; the arrivals since the close of last auctions amount to about 60,000 bal, s.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before the Recorder and a Common Jury.) BONELLL'S ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. COMPA NY-ATTACII- 111EZTT CASE. This was an attachment case in which the plaintiff (Borill) sought to recover £1,376 monies in the hands of the gar: nishers to the credit of the defendants. Mr Mathew, for the plaintiff, said that the defendants were indebted to his clients in and above the sum now sought to be recovered. As there was no defence to the present proceed ings, the only question for the jury was whether a certain sum of money was in the hands of the garnishers. Mr Danby said—l was a clerk in the Agra and United Service Bank, On June 20th Bonelli's Electric Company had a deposit account at the bank. Tho balance on June 30th was £1,376.

Mr Duffield said that some years ago he lent the defendant a chaise and harness. Defendant pledged them, and wit ness travelled nearly 200 miles before he could discover them. In addition to this defendant hired a saddle and bridle, for which he was to pay so much per week. Wit ness lost sight of the defendant for a long time, but a short time since he saw the name of Rose up over a door in Brixton, and found his debtor. No one appearing for the defendant, his lordship said that £3l 48 seemed a large sum for the hire of a saddle and bridle, but as defendant had never put an end to the hiring, plaintiff Was entitled to a verdict.

ESTIMATED DAMAGE, OVER VOO,OOO. The most extensive co: flagration which has occurred for many years past in the fashfin able neighbourhood known as Belgravia, broke out yesterday (sunday) morning, and was not entirely ex!inguished at a late hour last evening, and there seemed every chance of the fire lasting all night. Tho scene of this terrible misfortun, for such it may with truth be termed, on account cf the great many men who will be thrown out of employment, and the vast amount of property reduced to ruins, was a large space of ground over two acres. There was erected thereon some 25 years ago a spacious brick and st-Aie building, or more correctly speaking a series of buildings, with a lofty shaft towering high above the surrounding house tops. This factory when first opened was used as a large bakery and brandy distillery. The con cern, however, turned out a perfect failure, and for some time the premises remained untenanted, bat at length Messrs Smith Parfrey and Smith, took possession of the plant, which has since then been termed the Pimlico Patent Steam Wheel-works. The property had a frontage and large entrance gates in the main road named Belgrave-place, and on one side were the extensive building premises belonging to Messrs. Trollopo and Sons, of Parliament-street, West minster, termed the Balgrave Works. How these extensive premises did not share the same fate as the Wheel-works, as will be seen below, is a perfect mystery, unless it was owing to the almost superhuman exertions of the firemen. From information obtained of the manager of the Wheel works, it appeared that on the ground and basement floors were the coal depots, the boiler-house, and engine rooms. Of the latter there are three, and the engines being charged, a great deal of excitement prevailed at first lost they should explode and scatter destruction amongst human life in every direction. Fortunately some of the hands employed at the works, more courageous than others, rushed into the engine rooms and relieved the safety valves, which allowed the steam to blow off, and consequently no explosion occurred. The discovery of the fire was made by Police-constable Harder, No. 263 of the B division, by noticing an unusual body of black smoke hovering over the northern side of the works. Feeling convinced that the place was on fire, and there being only a watchman left in charge of the premises, he went and aroused him, and opening the front gates - a fearful scene presented itself, for immense sheets of dime were rolling round the lower floors. The watchman at once ran to ascertain what part of the premises was then on fire, and being suddenly misted it was feared that he had perished. Conductors Cotterill, Brooker, and Rowland ar rived with the Royal Society's escapes, and the men went into a building in:which it was thought the man had en tered, and whilst searching for him the roof of the building fell in a state of thorough ignition, so that they were obliged to abandon their praiseworthy but dangerous at. tempt. Fortunately the man had by some means succeeded in leaving the room, and has since been seen alive and un- injured. The first engine that arrive I was that from the Horse ferry-road brigade station, which was followed by Plummer, the engineer of St. John the Evangelist, with the parish engine. The powerful land steamer termed the Torrent, from Hodges' Distillery, at Lambeth, next attended, under the command of Lieut. Becker. Numerous manual power engines of the London Brigade, and those of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land steamers, with the Princess Royal land steamer, from Tooley-street, followed in rapid succession. By the time this powerful force arrived the fl Imes had made fearful progress, for the whole of the engineering works, iron stores, and pressing rooms, were enveloped in a broad sheet of fire. The three engine•heuses, the boil, r houses, the st c workshops, the spoke-rooms, the tire houses, and stock ships were all encircled with fl erne. Owing to the proximity of Dies: rs. Trollope's works, strong fears were entertained for their safety, and in order to pre serve them from destruction the branches of several of the engines were carried through those works, which enabled the firemen to scatter the water from the Grosvenor Canal and also from the mains of the Chelsea Company in such directions as to prevent the flames fro.n rolling over into those premises. If they had once become ignited there is no doubt but the conflagration would have lapped round nearly a dozen lofty houses in the Belgrave-read. By five o'clock the fire was at its height, and a grander or more fearful sight at a fire has rarely been witnessed, for the flames were mounting into the air high above the lofty fur nace shaft, illuminating not only the whole of the metropolis, but bringing out in splendid relief the Houses of Parliament, the venerable abbey at Westminster, Lambeth Palace, and many other lofty edifices. This caused persons from all quarters to rush to the scene of conflagration. Fortunately Captain Harrison, of the Commissioners of Police, with Mr Superintendent Gibbs, and Inspectors Caplan, Humphries, and Rolls, with a strong muster of the B division of police, and a reserve, came up, and took possession of the thorough fares, and thereby kept a way clear for the firemen to pur sue their dangerous avocation, and at the same time kept the populace off the reach of falling walls. All of a sudden the heavy brick and stone walls parted asunder, which allowed the roof to bend in the centre, and then the two fell to the ground with a crash resembling a discharge of ord. nance, Nothing less than the downfall of the lofty shaft could then be expected, for the roof, which was a flat one, had broken away at the side of the shaft, and the brickwork on either side, which to some extent acted as stays, had in many places bulged to a considerable extent ; in fact, the archways over the aide windows weiecracked by the intense heat, and the brickwork in more than one place had dropped to the ground. The land steamers were kept at work with the greatest vigour, as well as several others of manual power; but still the work of devastation continued, and the fire had actually entered the roof of the Victoria liailwa) Station, and was doing great damage to the side wall and the skylights. Fortunately the flames in that direction were soon cut off; but the main body of fire continued to rage in spite of the many thousand gallons of water that were momentarily scattered upon the lames ; and even at six o'clock last evening the fire was far from being extin guished, although all fears of any further extension of mischief was over. The only thing now to be apprehended is lest the lofty furnace shalt should be shaken down by the wind and fail. If such were to take place it is impossible to tell what might be the consequences. A very careful inquiry was made during the day for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, how the catastrophe occurred. The result of the investigation was that the pre mises were for a long time past left in charge of the watch man, whose duty it was to go over the premises every night at 11 o'clock, to see whether they wore perfectly safe and free from fire. He performed that duty at the usual hour on Saturday night, and he states that then he saw nothing wrong, and could not detect the sign of fire. Great as the loss is, one very fortunate circumstance is connected with it as the whole of the drawings of the models have been pre served in one of the patent defiance fire-proof safes, and some thousand pounds worth of wheels and heavy iron presses have been saved, as well as the spacious storehouse on the eastern side of the yard, which was filled with wheels and other property, but in spite of this the manager of the works states that the damage done would exceed £lOO,OOO, and his opinion was that the firm was not insured for a single shilling. This, it is hoped, may turn out to be ineorrect. One thing, however, is quite certain, that a vast number of workmen will be thrown out of employment for a length • ened time. As late as 6 o'clock last night the Victoria station was partly filled with smoke, and the vapour was rolling in dense volumes completely over the houses in Windsor-ter race, and the grounds of Messrs Elliot, the brewers, in Castle-lane, Westminster. ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.--The pro ductim of a new opera di camera by Macfarren, after the great success of " J esay Lea," is an event among the musi• cal patrons of the Gallery of Illustration. Report speaks well of " The Sergeant's Legacy," to be produced on "Wed nesday next. Mr Oxenford has written the libretto. Miss Robertine Henderson makes her first appearance this sea son, with Mr Whiffin, Mr J. A. Shaw, and Miss Poole. There is a promise of an occasional representation of Balfe's "Sleeping Queen." THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER'S SON FOR CHESTER.--We understand that Mr William Henry Gladstone, eldest son of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, will be brought forward at the next general election as a candidate for the representa tion of the city of Chester. It is believed that Mr W, H. Gladstone, who is a liberal, will obtain the support of the Marquis of Westminster, whose influence in Chester is paramount, as well as that of other Whig families. One of the present members for Chester is Earl Grosvenor, son of the Marquis of Westminster, and Mr Gladstone will, of course, be brought out in opposition to Capt. Humberston, the Conservative member. Mr Gladstone was born in June, 1840, and is consequently in his 24th year. He has not yet offered himself as a candidate for any other constituency.— Liverpool Daily Courier, TUE NESS SALMON FISHINGS.—The period for angling ends here on Friday, and most other rivers in the North close at the same time. The season has been on the whole remarkably good, and the abundance of fish in the Ness at present, waiting for the time when they are to frequent the fords, amply fuEs the expectations formed of the effect of withdrawing the stake nets in the estuary. and bringing next fishing to a close some weeks earlier than under Home Drummond's Act. No one whose experience crates from the year 182 S has seen such an appearance of fish in the Ness. They still continue to take well, though the river is excee: - Angly low and the weather has been re markably bright. Put there has been this peculiarity in the angling season, that the fish seem to make at once for the upper reaches of the river, and are shy to take in all the lower water. Tho s a m e fact has been observed thi s year in the Conon,— Inverness Courier. ATTEMPTED MUEDER.—At the village of East Moor, near Wakefield, on Friday last, George Atkinson, a collier employed at Methley, near Leeds, made an attempt to murder his wife by cutting her throat with a razor. For tunately she made her escape before ho completed his pur pose. The wound he inflicted was only superficial. His wife, to whom he had been married for 13 years, left him some time ago, and was living with a collier named John Young, at East Moor, and it was at the house of the latter that the attempt to murder was made. Atkinson is in cus• tody. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, lIAu-PAST 4 o'CLock. AUSTRIA.

THE BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS. GIBRALTAR, Oct. 10.—The following British vessels have arrived here since the departure of the last mail :—Steamer Kedar, 6 days from Liverpool ; steamer Argyll, 6 days from Liverpool; steamer Britannia, 71, days from Landon ; steamer Tiber, 84- days from Liverpool ; brigantine Reaper, 28 days from Cardiff; schooner Eifrida, 19 days from Swan■ sea; schooner Warbler, 25 days from Newcastle; steamer Palermo, 14 days from Glasgow; steamer Cslpe, 71 days from Liverpool ; steamer Gibraltar, 7 days from London ; steamer Baroda,4l,- days from Southampton ; R o yal Yacht Squadron cruiser Der. went, 11 days from Southampton; and steamer Macedon, 12 days from Glasgow.

The Gibraltar Chronicle says—" The differences between France and Morocco were reported some time ago to have been satisfactorily arranged, but letters from Tengier mention that the investigation into the murder of the French subjects atTetnan is still going on. Last week Mr. Sumaripa, first dragoman to the French Legation at Tangier, arrived in Tetuan and caused some Moors to be imprisoned. The only grcund for suspecting them of being concerned in the murder was that they had been heard to complain that the Frenchman, who was a swineherd, allowed his pigs to trespass on their ground. Some of the Moors ar.ested on suspicion have been released. Hash Hash, the late governer of Tetuan, is still a prisoner at Rabat, and his brother acts as governor of Tetuan. The question of the murdered French man was supposed to have Leen finally adjusted between the two governments, and the sum fixed as an indemnity to the family of the murdered man was agreed to by the Sultan. The circumstances under which the French Government has re-opened the question and caused the arrest of the Tetuan Moors is not known. " Sir M. Montefiore has sent an address to the rabbis and elders of the Morocco jews, counselling them to inculcate on their poorer and less educated brethren the necessity of uniform obedience and respect to the Moorish authorities. The danger that the Jews might lose some of the benefits conferred by the recent edict of the Emperor from exciting the hostilities of the Moorish authorities by a too independent tone in demanding the equal treatment with Mahomedans ordered by the Sultan, has been mentioned in letters from Barbary ; and Sir Moses Montefiore, whose intercession has already done so much for the Mdrocco Jews, wisely counsels patience under petty injuries and submission to the authori ties as the bast means of preventing the just and generous intentions of the Sultan being defeated by the fanaticism of his Mahomedan subjects." CHURCH-RATES IN CORNWALL.—During the past week two parishes, Lelant and Altarnon, were polled on the question of church rates. At Lelant 56 votes were re corded for tart 38 against a lid. rate in the pouna. At Altarnon there were 130 votes for, and 84 against a rate of 6d. in the pound. The contest in each parish was carried on with much spirit. METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL, DEVONSHIRE 4 5 ARE, CITY.—The aggregate number of patients relieved during the week ending October 15 was—Medical, 1,040; surgical, 740—total, 1,780 ; of which 663 were new oases. COPPER ORE.-At the Cornish ticketing on Thursday, 2,403 tons of ore realised £13,258 12s 6d. Averages :—Standard, £ll9 7s ; price per ton, £5 10s 6d ; produce, 61. Compared with the previous sale the standard has declined 16s, and Kith the corresponding monthly sale on Sept. 8 it has declined £2 10s. REPRESENTATION OF CAMBRIDGE.-Mr. W. D. Christie, our late minister in Brazil, has announced his de termination of contesting the representation of the borough at the next general election. Mr Christie was M.P. for Weymouth from 1842 to 1847. THE LATE BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.- At the meeting of the General Hospital Board on Friday Colonel Mason, the chairman of the Festival Committee, handed over a further cheque of £2,000, making £5,000 already paid over as the proceeds of the festival. Colonel Mason announced that the accounts will shortly be closed, and the balance paid over to the hospital. The Toulon journals mention that the steam frigate Impetrice Eugenie has taken on board the 34th Regiment of the Line, and left for Algiers. The Eylau is expected to follow with the 37th. Accounts from Venetia state that the crop of corn in that country has been excellent this year. The maize in particular is so abundant that the price has fallen considerably. The vintage also, which is already partly finished, will, it appears, give good results, ROYAL LINEAGE OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.—It is not generally known that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is a descendant of two Royal houses. Sir Bernard Burke's recently published " Royal Descents" gives the pedigree of the Gladstone family, and shows a descent from Henry 111., King of England, and Robert Bruce, King of Scotland. Lady Joan Beaufort, a descendant of Heny 111., married James I. of Scotland, a descendant of Bruce ; and from this alliance is clearly traced the descent of Andrew Robertson, sheriff-sub stitute of Ross, whose daughter married Sir John Glad stone, Bart , of Fas4ua and Balfour, and bore several sone, including the Chancellor of the Exchequer,—Liverpe ol Mercury. A Copenhagen letter states that the Countess Danner, the morganatic widow of the late King, has presented to the MII3CUM of that capital the pic tures and statues which had been left by her Royal busbani, with several other objects of art, and among them two magnificent porcelain vases, pre sented by the Emperor Napoleon. The Illonarchia Italiana states that there has lately been discovered in the excavations of the Palatine the trunk of a statue representing the celebrated Satyr attributed to Praxiteles. Several copies of that wcrk of art exist in the different museum's of Europe, the belief being that the original was lost. The mutilated statue which has just been brought to light, and of which other fragments have sieve, been found, is considered to be the original. The Lloyd of Vienna states that the price of corn is so low in the Banat that many landowners cannot get iid of their steek except at a loss, and th© re sources of private individuals are insufficient to furnish such advances as are required. The Credit Bank at Vienna has decided on opening an estab• lishment at Temeavar to grant loans on the security of the crops. =lllll6 stook -;hare. 13.14, bar 100 Sk_ 1 100 4 took t ook 20 4tock 10 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 stook a took ,tocl stock
